Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Science fiction that uses its premise to ask real questions about humanity, technology, and what comes next. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Bring tissues. These don't hold back, and that's exactly why they stay with you.
